I'm out for this race. It's my birthday tomorrow and the wifey wants me around. For some reason she wants me around for the whole weekend. I've been trying to tell her that my idea of a nice birthday present would be a day at the track.

The ironic thing is that I'm reasonably certain she bought me some karting stuff. I asked her for a soft axle, short hubs, an 11-tooth driver, more gears, muffler packing, a spare chain, a set of tires, a bead breaker, a tire changer, an air tank, new brake pads, new graphics, a trackside beacon, a one-man kart stand, a full-width rear bumper, new seat, a spare battery, a Leatt neck brace, a gallon of Motul, and some driving lessons. Maybe I'll get one of the above.
